The Space

Ivy House was designed for groups who want to experience Cartagena from the center of it all, while still enjoying the privacy and comfort of a full private villa. The property sits on a prime corner in the heart of the Old City, giving guests immediate access to the restaurants, bars, cafés, plazas, nightlife, shopping, and historic landmarks that make Cartagena so special.

Inside, Ivy House combines private hotel-style bedrooms with large shared spaces for relaxing, dining, celebrating, and enjoying time together. It is ideal for groups who want to stay under one roof without sacrificing personal space, comfort, or service.

The rooftop is one of the main highlights of the villa, with a private pool, BBQ, bar area, lounge seating, and views toward Cartagena’s cathedral. It is perfect for daytime lounging, sunset drinks, private dinners, or gathering as a group before going out.

The villa also offers comfortable common areas, a full kitchen, and 12 private bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bathroom.

Bedrooms

Ivy House has 12 private bedrooms with queen or king beds. Each room includes:

Air conditioning
Ensuite bathroom
Soundproofing
Smart TV
Room safe
Digital room lock
Comfortable bedding
Hotel-style privacy

This setup works especially well for large groups because guests can enjoy the energy and convenience of the Old City, then return to their own private room and bathroom inside the villa.

Bathrooms

The villa has 14 bathrooms total, including 12 ensuite bathrooms connected to the bedrooms, plus additional common-area bathrooms.

This is a major advantage for groups because guests do not need to share limited bathrooms, making the stay more comfortable and practical for families, celebrations, wedding groups, bachelor and bachelorette trips, and friends traveling together.

Rooftop & Pool

The rooftop is one of Ivy House’s strongest selling points. Guests can enjoy a private rooftop pool, BBQ, bar area, lounge seating, and beautiful views over the Old City.

It is ideal for relaxing during the day, gathering before dinner, having drinks at sunset, or hosting a private chef or BBQ experience. After enjoying the city, the rooftop gives your group a private place to come back together and continue the experience at the villa.

Staff & Service

Your stay includes:

24-hour butler service
Daily cleaning
Continental breakfast

The butler can assist with property access, basic guest support, and coordination during the stay. Additional concierge services can also be arranged upon request, including airport transfers, private chef, restaurant reservations, boat days, beach clubs, nightlife, and local experiences.

Guest Access

Guests have private access to the entire villa, including all bedrooms, bathrooms, living areas, kitchen, rooftop pool, BBQ area, bar, lounge spaces, and common areas.

The property is rented as a private villa, so your group will not share the space with other guests.

Location

Ivy House is located on a prime corner in the very center of Cartagena’s Old City — the kind of location that is difficult to recreate. This is one of the property’s strongest advantages.

The neighborhood is lively, walkable, and surrounded by the best of Cartagena. Guests can step outside and walk within minutes to restaurants, bars, cafés, plazas, boutiques, nightlife, historic landmarks, rooftop lounges, and tour meeting points.

For groups, this location makes the entire stay easier. Everyone can enjoy the city independently, meet back at the villa easily, and avoid needing transportation for every plan. It gives guests the full Cartagena experience right outside the door, with the comfort of returning to a private 12-bedroom villa.

Amazing house for big group

This house was amazing! Me and other 14 of my friends stayed here. Couldn’t hope for a better house in the old city. This house is located dead center of the city and everything is in walking distance from shops to night clubs. The house staff was amazing as well. I will recommend anyone who has a big group to stay at IVY house, you wouldn’t regret it.

Excellent Experience!

We had a terrific time at the Ivy House! Dan was an awesome host and very helpful. He greeted us when we arrived and gave us the lay of the land. Ariel and the house staff very extremely friendly and helpful. The location for the house couldn’t be better. It’s right in the middle of the action. The roof deck and pool were the crown jewel. Super fun and relaxing. We’ll be back…

Great Location and Property!

Ivy House was the perfect setup to house ~18-22 guests for a weekend and event for the rooftop. The staff was great, the design and artwork in the space is very unique and feels local to Cartagena, and the rooftop is one of the best we've been on in Colombia. We also coordinated having a wedding event for one of the days on the rooftop with ~40 guests and staff, we were surprised to see how spacious the rooftop felt even with this many guests, allowing for tables and plenty of room for dancing. Daniel was a great host and helped us coordinate all of the details and we couldn't have been happier with choosing Ivy House as the location for our long weekend and wedding!

Great house for large groups

Our group was a group of 10 ladies celebrating a 50th birthday. Each of us had our own room with bathroom. The rooftop with dipping pool and outdoor kitchen is absolutely gorgeous, both in the day and at night. The house manager, Ariel, was great helping us with our luggage (we probably owe him a massage for all of the luggage he had to carry up and down the stairs), helping us with groceries and anything else we needed. The housekeeping staff kept our rooms cleaned (we were mostly gone during the day). Ariel was always there to greet us when we returned to the house. It was really a great experience for a large group.

Excellent house in an incredible location!

We had the most amazing stay at the Ivy house as a group of 28 people with a wide range of ages (from 8 to 80!). The property was just advertised, with multiple comfortable, clean bedrooms, a great living area and a phenomenal rooftop. Every person in our group was very impressed with the house from the moment they walked through the door! And the house is most ideally located - right in the heart of the walled city, and mere steps from the best bars, restaurants and shops.Dan was an absolute pleasure to work with when putting our trip together - from reaching out when the booking was made to keeping in touch throughout our stay and ensuring our every need was met.The best part of the house is the staff though - always friendly, helpful and attentive at any time of the day or night, whether its bringing coffee down from the roof to the living area or running out to grab a case of water.Would very highly recommend the Ivy House for your stay in Cartagena, and I would absolutely stay here again!

The Mecca of Vacation Rentals

I don’t even know where to start. I read the other reviews before my stay and they all said this was the best place to stay and if you’ve found it stop scrolling and book. Well, they were absolutely right and I’m beyond happy that I did book my stay here. This was my bachelor party trip and all my friends were stunned when we arrived at the villa and Dan gave us the tour. The coolest person you can meet and truly goes above and beyond to ensure your stay is memorable. Honestly don’t think I could’ve found a better place to stay in all of Cartagena. Everything you could possibly need just right outside the door within a block. Also a huge shoutout to Nicky and her Concierge team who work with Dan to make sure you don’t have to think during your trip. From dinner and club reservations, to having the best security man (shoutout also Ronald!) to get you where you need to be with no worries, to making sure your villa is fully stocked with all the goodies. You really can’t ask for more. To wrap things up, if you want the best of the best when coming to Cartagena, you need to book this villa now. Like right now. Just do it! Thanks again, Dan! You are the man and hopefully someday my friends and I will be back!

Excellent hosts and great service!

Dan and his team were great hosts and made this trip one of a kind for our party. He provided great advice leading up to the trip and checked in a couple of times just to make sure everything was going ok while we were there. He also was available and very responsive when needed! Also great was Arielle and Danny. Would recommend this as an 11/10 property and experience.
